I never cease to be amazed at the delightful little shops you find in Paris. Who would ever imagine a shop that sells only plaster molds of feet and hands! Des Pieds et Des Mains, on passage Molière, near the Pomidou was closed, but I took these through the window. I loved the dear little signs with their ages.
Update: I have found the artist!

Interesting. I guess you can find something for everyone!
It's interesting to see how the hand changes in size between the weeks and months. Adorable!
Absolutely precious. What a keepsake!
Wow, I did not know about this shop... very interesting and I imagine a dear keepsake...
Seeing all of those hands in the window is just a bit creepy... I hope that none of them waved at you!

Thanks to Richard Nahem of www.eyepreferparis.com for leading us to this charming passage...I know that Virginia has more shots to share from that delightful Saturday in January!
Somehow reminds me of the Addams Family! :-)
Interesting...but heavens whatever for is my question??
Odd but interesting
Hi Virginia, wow you really found an original shop. How sweet!! Hope you are well. Carla
There's definitely something macabre about this shop.
Well I thought this post would bring interesting comments and I was right! Peter and Starman weren't so sure while others thought the sweet little baby fists were anywhere from interesting to precious! C'est la vie, n'est-ce pas?

So did you get your hand done??? I'd like to see how they do it... must have to work quickly, to keep the little ones from getting too impatient...
Brilliant of you to find this place—and share it with us! I have a plaster cast of Lila's 5-year-old thumb (made as a bit of a joke by her pediatric dentist). Bizarre, perhaps, but I still cherish it.
What an interesting find! Very cool!
